The American note handed to the Turkish 'minister of foreign affairs, Tewik .Pasha, on Tuesday, is couched in peremptory terms, demanding immediate payment of the in demnity several tmes promised to Minister Strauss by the. The note does list ftr the for an answer, but its tenor rrom ine cnaracter or an ultimatum, it has produced a great impression upon the porte. which, however, shows no disposition to modify the attitude htherto maintained namely, repudiat- ing the responsibility and seeking to diminish the imoprtance of the matte: It is presumed that the porte's reply will be in this sense, and hence it is feared the United States government will be obHged to take steps to enforce its demands Turkey's decision to send an officer to America to study naval construction is interpreted to be another sop. It Is the revival of an old project to buy a cruiser in the United States at a price in which the indemnity shall be nclud- ed. so that the porte will be able to say it has not paid the indemnity The American covemment has already catezoricaily refused such a compro mjs which would mean prolonged ne gotiations and the dragging out of the matter indefinitely, to which the UniteC State's will not listen. As regards the indemnity it is in the nature of a debt of honor, if the porte wants to buy a cruiser that is a matter in no way con nected with the indemnity The porte s reply to the last collect ive note on the subject of duties has hoi been made, and the embassies arc exchanging views in rgard to the terms on which to consent to an increase of duty It is thought that before the be- ginning of negotiations the embassies will invite the porte to abolish ran- soms and measures introduced in viola- tion of treaties. WASHINGTON D C. April 2S. .Beyond tne statement tnat ilr. Gns- com United States charge d'affaires at Constantinople, has been irtructed to press vigorously for the payment of the ; American claims for indemnity, the , to divulge the officials here decline nature of his instructions. They say ! that ilr Griscom does not need express instrucarns to forward the claims, for he had of his own volition taken a rather advanced atatude in this matter unn iae preeiiiaiioiia ne is now mai- though this time by express in- sructlon. are m no respect more peremptory than his own preceding de liveries to the Turkish government. Novel though the proposition was from a diplomati-- standpoint, yet it is learned to be true that the effort was 14 -de by the ncrte to pay this American claim under cover of an order for a ' war ship to be built in the United States for Turkey. The reasons for the failure of the project were several. The United ' fi2"n Tan nrown m'"' hoc t tii eVi e ' for sale, and is not authorized to build any for foreign order. Then there is no warrant of law for entering into an arrangement with a private ship build ing concern for the collection of an international obligation in the manner purposed. Lastly judging by the ex perience of concerns that have had dealings with the Turkish government, anr shipbuilder accepting the order rrom Turkey would require a guaranty from the United States government, and the net resulr of the transaction might be the assumption by the United States of an obligation as much larger han the orismal claims a rh nH cf a battleship exceeds the 590,000 I .

Davis, military governor, visited Allen on board the Dolphin at 11:30. A detachment of seventy-five rnanlar police and four companies of the Porto Rico regiment, with a band, were drawn up on the wharf. The band played "Borimjueru" the Porto Rico na tional air. and the steamers lying-in the harbor kept up a continuous whistling until the launch reached the land ing. The governor toot breakfast with Gfceral Davis, and with his family KK j exclamations followed the carnage. "That can't be Mr. Allen." said one. "That's not the new governor." said j another. "Not that rnnn in the straw hat. surely not." I The simplicity of the costume and of the general details of the reception ' took the Porto Ricans by surprise and they could scarcely realize that they looked upon the new governor.

"One difficulty is that many of the Boers forming commandos, urjjiediate ly on finding themselves beaten, re treat to their farms and resume the roles cf peaceful citizenship, hiding their rifles."

Otherwise txere is no news beyond the official dispatches of Lord Roberts, except belated derails of recent opera tions. It appears that General Bra bant, in the fight with the Boers at Wepener. had a narrow escape. Gen- ' era!

Taken on the whole, however, there has been no bungling and apparently Lord Roberts, with the commands in , the hands cf tne younger generals, aow has an exceedingly efficient army. The report that the Boers had reoc- cupied Bcsbof proves to De untrue. Lord Methuen is still near Hunter's division. This is evidence that some important operations are afoot in tat district It is understood that the reason that the Boers did not destroy tiie Bloem fontein water works was that there are many Boers among the sharehold ers.

OnL, April 27. Five" square miles of territory burned cver, more than 2,500 dwellings, factories mills, stores and other buildings de stroyed, entailing a loss estimated to reach $20,000,000, and between 12.00 and la.000 men. women and children homeless is a summing up of the havoc wrought by the fire which has been raging at Hull and in Ottawa since 11 I-o'clock yesterday morning and at mid night was not completely under con trol. Most of the lumber piles ia Hull and Ottawa have disappeared and are now mere heaps of charred wood and ashes. Half a dozen church and schools, x number of milTs, the Hull water works,, the Hull court house and jail, the con vent almost every business place and about 1.000 dwelling and shops in Hull have been destroyed. Indeed, prac tically nothing of Hull is left but a quarter main street of Hull and as a gale was blowing from the northwest right in the direction of the lumber piles ana mills both on the Hull and Ottawa shores of the Ottawa river and Chau diere Falls it was soon seen That the fire was almost certain to be a large one. By 11-20 o'clock the fire had got a good hold of Main street and the entire street with dozens of cross streets were burned. Practically there is not a house left in the street. In this city it is estimated that be- U th?mills' fact0rif5- etc, burned. . loa residences were destroyed. The total loss is estimated at Slo.000,000 and the insurance at 52.500,000.

It is sficiAily aaaounced that Wepener has been re lieved. A dispatch from Capetown brings the information that the relief of Cekmel Dalgety was accomplished by Ccral Brabant. Thewar office has issued tie follow ing from Lord Roberts, dated Blcem fontein, April 25, 5:25 p. m.: "The enemy retired from in. front of Wepener last night and this morning fled northeastward along the Lady brand road. Their number was be tween 4,000 and 5,000. Lord Roberts has telegraphed the following message to the war office: -BLOEMFONTEIN. April 26. De Wet's dorp was occupied by Chermside without oEosition at 9:30 o'clock this morning." The war office has issued Lora Koo- ( erts' list of the casualties prior to the ( burned; further, that the council of occupation of DeWet's dorp, showing st2te most earnestly advise tne exec that Captain Denny of the Thirteenth utive council to appoint a new court hussars was killed and that a captain, C( claims of nve members, at least two lieutenants anu twenty-cwo men were wounded. Captain Prothero, who was wounded at Karreefontein, has since died. It is now apparent that the chances of Lord Roberts' catching the retreat ing Boers is very slender. The Boers have everywhere retired at the first pressure of the British advance and the hope that General Rundle would be able to induce them to remain at DeWet's dorp until they had been forced to fight has been disappointed No attempt was made to pursue the commandos retiring from Wepener, Everything aow depends upon the pro gress of General French's cavalry brigades, but they are entering a very difficult, hilly and practically unknown country. The cavalry has already had a long march over heavy and sandy roads and nothing is known regarding the con dition of the horses. In any case it is I a race between the federals and the forces of General French and General Hamilton. The slowness of the Brit-f ish infantry and previous ability of , the Boers to move rapidly, with guns and baggage, over their own country. lead to a belief that Lord Roberts' en- j. veloping operations will fail and will however, that joint aeon will taa have to be repeated further north. At in anything except the renewal of use the most he will perhaps capture some t less protestations to the Turkish gov Boer guns and baggage and harry th i ernment. retreating burghers.
